After the release of ‘What’ll It Take’, the sunny acoustic stylings of ‘Ooh, Yeh Yeh’ seems like a hell of a curveball. This latest single hits the sweet spot, with particularly pleasing harmonies throughout. Of course, there is room for one of Coxon‘s trademark dissonant solos, double-tracked to bring the 60s back to your headphones. In a genius move to allow for a singalong the first time you hear it, the chorus just goes “I said/Ooh, yeh yeh”. Admittedly, this record won’t change the world or bring a tear to the eye of the listener with its philosophical musings, but the tune is more than enough to carry ‘Ooh, Yeh Yeh’ along nicely. The track is packaged with ‘Seven Naked Valleys’, another highlight from Graham Coxon‘s latest album, A+E.
8/10.
